For me it’s Halo 2/2 Anniversary.

Halo 2

Halo 2 did probably have the most effective friendly AI in combat if they are using precision weapons as the AI in Halo 2 aims at the head in contrast to the other Halo games where they aim at the center of mass. This means that the friendly AIs are able to consistently kill the enemies with headshots.

I 100% agree. The marines in Halo 2 destroyed with precision weapons.

This same do also apply to every other AI with precision weapons like Elites, Jackals and Brutes.

Halo Wars.

Only game where they were actually effective.

Obviously H1

Probably H2, they were pretty accurate when firing weapons, and had some pretty funny lines too.

Aesthetically, Halo 3 marines are my favourite, they really hit the nail on the head with the way their armour looks and their dialogue is superb. Combat wise, especially when I’m playing on legendary, they’re just cannon fodder and eventual free nades and ammo lol. Halo 1 marines are pretty useful sometimes, although I put that more down to their nuclear grenades and the occasional sniper marine that can two shot elites. Halo 4 marines (on the 3 missions we see them) just look meh and are completely overshadowed in gameplay by the Spartan IVs, and don’t get me started on those ‘marines’ we get for Warzone in 5 or the corpo security forces that hate our guts.
